<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add Cmm related hooks
* stgToCmm hook
* cmmToRawCmm hook
These hooks are used by Asterius and could be useful to other clients of
the GHC API.
It increases the Parser dependencies (test CountParserDeps) to 184. It's
still less than 200 which was the initial request (cf
https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2019-September/018122.html)
so I think it's ok to merge this.

Python distributions, it inexplicably returned `MINGW64_NT-10.0`
under MingW64 Python on CI. It seems os.name is more reliable so we now

This brings the pretty-printer for Core in line with how visible
type applications are normally printed: namely, with no whitespace
after the `@` character (i.e., `f @a` instead of `f @ a`). While I'm
in town, I also give the same treatment to type abstractions (i.e.,
`\(@a)` instead of `\(@ a)`) and coercion applications (i.e.,
`f @~x` instead of `f @~ x`).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Overloaded Quotation Brackets (#246)
This patch implements overloaded quotation brackets which generalise the
desugaring of all quotation forms in terms of a new minimal interface.
The main change is that a quotation, for example, [e| 5 |], will now
have type `Quote m => m Exp` rather than `Q Exp`. The `Quote` typeclass
contains a single method for generating new names which is used when
desugaring binding structures.
The return type of functions from the `Lift` type class, `lift` and `liftTyped` have
been restricted to `forall m . Quote m => m Exp` rather than returning a
result in a Q monad.
More details about the feature can be read in the GHC proposal.

Before, it was a panic because it was handled above. But there must have
been an error in my reasoning (another caller?) because #17442 reported
the panic was hit.
But, rather than figuring out what happened, I can just make it
impossible by construction. By adding just a bit more bureaucracy in the
return types, I can handle TagToEnum in the same case as all the others,
so the big case is is now total, and the panic is removed.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix chaining tagged and untagged ptrs in compacting GC
Currently compacting GC has the invariant that in a chain all fields are tagged
the same. However this does not really hold: root pointers are not tagged, so
when we thread a root we initialize a chain without a tag. When the pointed
objects is evaluated and we have more pointers to it from the heap, we then add
*tagged* fields to the chain (because pointers to it from the heap are tagged),
ending up chaining fields with different tags (pointers from roots are NOT
tagged, pointers from heap are). This breaks the invariant and as a result
compacting GC turns tagged pointers into non-tagged.
This later causes problem in the generated code where we do reads assuming that
the pointer is aligned, e.g.
0x7(%rax) -- assumes that pointer is tagged 1
which causes misaligned reads. This caused #17088.
We fix this using the "pointer tagging for large families" patch (#14373,
!1742):
- With the pointer tagging patch the GC can know what the tagged pointer to a
CONSTR should be (previously we'd need to know the family size -- large
families are always tagged 1, small families are tagged depending on the
constructor).
- Since we now know what the tags should be we no longer need to store the
pointer tag in the info table pointers when forming chains in the compacting
GC.
As a result we no longer need to tag pointers in chains with 1/2 depending on
whether the field points to an info table pointer, or to another field: an info
table pointer is always tagged 0, everything else in the chain is tagged 1. The
lost tags in pointers can be retrieved by looking at the info table.
Finally, instead of using tag 1 for fields and tag 0 for info table pointers, we
use two different tags for fields:
- 1 for fields that have untagged pointers
- 2 for fields that have tagged pointers
When unchaining we then look at the pointer to a field, and depending on its tag
we either leave a tagged pointer or an untagged pointer in the field.
This allows chaining untagged and tagged fields together in compacting GC.
Fixes #17088

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Formulate as translation between Clause Trees
We used to check `GrdVec`s arising from multiple clauses and guards in
isolation. That resulted in a split between `pmCheck` and
`pmCheckGuards`, the implementations of which were similar, but subtly
different in detail. Also the throttling mechanism described in
`Note [Countering exponential blowup]` ultimately got quite complicated
because it had to cater for both checking functions.
This patch realises that pattern match checking doesn't just consider
single guarded RHSs, but that it's always a whole set of clauses, each
of which can have multiple guarded RHSs in turn. We do so by
translating a list of `Match`es to a `GrdTree`:
```haskell
data GrdTree
= Rhs !RhsInfo
| Guard !PmGrd !GrdTree -- captures lef-to-right match semantics
| Sequence !GrdTree !GrdTree -- captures top-to-bottom match semantics
| Empty -- For -XEmptyCase, neutral element of Sequence
```
Then we have a function `checkGrdTree` that matches a given `GrdTree`
against an incoming set of values, represented by `Deltas`:
```haskell
checkGrdTree :: GrdTree -> Deltas -> CheckResult
...
```
Throttling is isolated to the `Sequence` case and becomes as easy as one
would expect: When the union of uncovered values becomes too big, just
return the original incoming `Deltas` instead (which is always a
superset of the union, thus a sound approximation).
The returned `CheckResult` contains two things:
1. The set of values that were not covered by any of the clauses, for
exhaustivity warnings.
2. The `AnnotatedTree` that enriches the syntactic structure of the
input program with divergence and inaccessibility information.
This is `AnnotatedTree`:
```haskell
data AnnotatedTree
= AccessibleRhs !RhsInfo
| InaccessibleRhs !RhsInfo
| MayDiverge !AnnotatedTree
| SequenceAnn !AnnotatedTree !AnnotatedTree
| EmptyAnn
```
Crucially, `MayDiverge` asserts that the tree may force diverging
values, so not all of its wrapped clauses can be redundant.
While the set of uncovered values can be used to generate the missing
equations for warning messages, redundant and proper inaccessible
equations can be extracted from `AnnotatedTree` by
`redundantAndInaccessibleRhss`.
For this to work properly, the interface to the Oracle had to change.
There's only `addPmCts` now, which takes a bag of `PmCt`s. There's a
whole bunch of `PmCt` variants to replace the different oracle functions
from before.
The new `AnnotatedTree` structure allows for more accurate warning
reporting (as evidenced by a number of changes spread throughout GHC's
code base), thus we fix #17465.
Fixes #17646 on the go.

In https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/2192#note_246551
Simon convinced me that ignoring type variables existentially bound by

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Handle local fixity declarations in DsMeta properly
`DsMeta.rep_sig` used to skip over `FixSig` entirely, which had the
effect of causing local fixity declarations to be dropped when quoted
in Template Haskell. But there is no good reason for this state of
affairs, as the code in `DsMeta.repFixD` (which handles top-level
fixity declarations) handles local fixity declarations just fine.
This patch factors out the necessary parts of `repFixD` so that they
can be used in `rep_sig` as well.
There was one minor complication: the fixity signatures for class
methods in each `HsGroup` were stored both in `FixSig`s _and_ the
list of `LFixitySig`s for top-level fixity signatures, so I needed
to take action to prevent fixity signatures for class methods being
converted to `Dec`s twice. I tweaked `RnSource.add` to avoid putting
these fixity signatures in two places and added
`Note [Top-level fixity signatures in an HsGroup]` in `GHC.Hs.Decls`
to explain the new design.
Fixes #17608. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Do not bring visible foralls into scope in hsScopedTvs
Previously, `hsScopedTvs` (and its cousin `hsWcScopedTvs`) pretended
that visible dependent quantification could not possibly happen at
the term level, and cemented that assumption with an `ASSERT`:
```hs
hsScopedTvs (HsForAllTy { hst_fvf = vis_flag, ... }) =
ASSERT( vis_flag == ForallInvis )
...
```
It turns out that this assumption is wrong. You can end up tripping
this `ASSERT` if you stick it to the man and write a type for a term
that uses visible dependent quantification anyway, like in this
example:
```hs
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
x :: forall a -> a -> a
x = x
```
That won't typecheck, but that's not the point. Before the
typechecker has a chance to reject this, the renamer will try
to use `hsScopedTvs` to bring `a` into scope over the body of `x`,
since `a` is quantified by a `forall`. This, in turn, causes the
`ASSERT` to fail. Bummer.
Instead of walking on this dangerous ground, this patch makes GHC
adopt a more hardline stance by pattern-matching directly on
`ForallInvis` in `hsScopedTvs`:
```hs
hsScopedTvs (HsForAllTy { hst_fvf = ForallInvis, ... }) = ...
```
Now `a` will not be brought over the body of `x` at all (which is how
it should be), there's no chance of the `ASSERT` failing anymore (as
it's gone), and best of all, the behavior of `hsScopedTvs` does not
change. Everyone wins!

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use splitLHs{ForAll,Sigma}TyInvis throughout the codebase
Richard points out in #17688 that we use `splitLHsForAllTy` and
`splitLHsSigmaTy` in places that we ought to be using the
corresponding `-Invis` variants instead, identifying two bugs
that are caused by this oversight:
* Certain TH-quoted type signatures, such as those that appear in
quoted `SPECIALISE` pragmas, silently turn visible `forall`s into
invisible `forall`s.
* When quoted, the type `forall a -> (a ~ a) => a` will turn into
`forall a -> a` due to a bug in `DsMeta.repForall` that drops
contexts that follow visible `forall`s.
These are both ultimately caused by the fact that `splitLHsForAllTy`
and `splitLHsSigmaTy` split apart visible `forall`s in addition to
invisible ones. This patch cleans things up:
* We now use `splitLHsForAllTyInvis` and `splitLHsSigmaTyInvis`
throughout the codebase. Relatedly, the `splitLHsForAllTy` and
`splitLHsSigmaTy` have been removed, as they are easy to misuse.
* `DsMeta.repForall` now only handles invisible `forall`s to reduce
the chance for confusion with visible `forall`s, which need to be
handled differently. I also renamed it from `repForall` to
`repForallT` to emphasize that its distinguishing characteristic
is the fact that it desugars down to `L.H.TH.Syntax.ForallT`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor package related code
The package terminology is a bit of a mess. Cabal packages contain
components. Instances of these components when built with some
flags/options/dependencies are called units. Units are registered into
package databases and their metadata are called PackageConfig.
GHC only knows about package databases containing units. It is a sad
mismatch not fixed by this patch (we would have to rename parameters
such as `package-id <unit-id>` which would affect users).
This patch however fixes the following internal names:
- Renames PackageConfig into UnitInfo.
- Rename systemPackageConfig into globalPackageDatabase[Path]
- Rename PkgConfXX into PkgDbXX
- Rename pkgIdMap into unitIdMap
- Rename ModuleToPkgDbAll into ModuleNameProvidersMap
- Rename lookupPackage into lookupUnit
- Add comments on DynFlags package related fields
It also introduces a new `PackageDatabase` datatype instead of
explicitly passing the following tuple: `(FilePath,[PackageConfig])`.
The `pkgDatabase` field in `DynFlags` now contains the unit info for
each unit of each package database exactly as they have been read from
disk. Previously the command-line flag `-distrust-all-packages` would
modify these unit info. Now this flag only affects the "dynamic"
consolidated package state found in `pkgState` field. It makes sense
because `initPackages` could be called first with this
`distrust-all-packages` flag set and then again (using ghc-api) without
and it should work (package databases are not read again from disk when
`initPackages` is called the second time).

Manual inspection of programs in testsuite/tests/programs
---------------------------------------------------------
I built these programs with a bunch of dump flags and `-O` and compared
STG, Cmm, and Asm dumps and file sizes.
(Below the numbers in parenthesis show number of modules in the program)
These programs have identical compiler (same .hi and .o sizes, STG, and
Cmm and Asm dumps):
- Queens (1), andre_monad (1), cholewo-eval (2), cvh_unboxing (3),
andy_cherry (7), fun_insts (1), hs-boot (4), fast2haskell (2),
jl_defaults (1), jq_readsPrec (1), jules_xref (1), jtod_circint (4),
jules_xref2 (1), lennart_range (1), lex (1), life_space_leak (1),
bargon-mangler-bug (7), record_upd (1), rittri (1), sanders_array (1),
strict_anns (1), thurston-module-arith (2), okeefe_neural (1),
joao-circular (6), 10queens (1)
Programs with different compiler outputs:
- jl_defaults (1): For some reason GHC HEAD marks a lot of top-level
`[Int]` closures as CAFFY for no reason. With this patch we no longer
make them CAFFY and generate less SRT entries. For some reason Main.o
is slightly larger with this patch (1.3%) and the executable sizes are
the same. (I'd expect both to be smaller)
- launchbury (1): Same as jl_defaults: top-level `[Int]` closures marked
as CAFFY for no reason. Similarly `Main.o` is 1.4% larger but the
executable sizes are the same.
- galois_raytrace (13): Differences are in the Parse module. There are a
lot, but some of the changes are caused by the fact that for some
reason (I think a bug) GHC HEAD marks the dictionary for `Functor
Identity` as CAFFY. Parse.o is 0.4% larger, the executable size is the
same.
- north_array: We now generate less SRT entries because some of array
primops used in this program like `NewArrayOp` get eliminated during
Stg-to-Cmm and turn some CAFFY things into non-CAFFY. Main.o gets 24%
larger (9224 bytes from 9000 bytes), executable sizes are the same.
- seward-space-leak: Difference in this program is better shown by this
smaller example:
module Lib where
data CDS
= Case [CDS] [(Int, CDS)]
| Call CDS CDS
instance Eq CDS where
Case sels1 rets1 == Case sels2 rets2 =
sels1 == sels2 && rets1 == rets2
Call a1 b1 == Call a2 b2 =
a1 == a2 && b1 == b2
_ == _ =
False
In this program GHC HEAD builds a new SRT for the recursive group of
`(==)`, `(/=)` and the dictionary closure. Then `/=` points to `==`
in its SRT field, and `==` uses the SRT object as its SRT. With this
patch we use the closure for `/=` as the SRT and add `==` there. Then
`/=` gets an empty SRT field and `==` points to `/=` in its SRT
field.
This change looks fine to me.
Main.o gets 0.07% larger, executable sizes are identical.
head.hackage
------------
head.hackage's CI script builds 428 packages from Hackage using this
patch with no failures.
Compiler performance
--------------------
The compiler perf tests report that the compiler allocates slightly more
(worst case observed so far is 4%). However most programs in the test
suite are small, single file programs. To benchmark compiler performance
on something more realistic I build Cabal (the library, 236 modules)
with different optimisation levels. For the "max residency" row I run
GHC with `+RTS -s -A100k -i0 -h` for more accurate numbers. Other rows
are generated with just `-s`. (This is because `-i0` causes running GC
much more frequently and as a result "bytes copied" gets inflated by
more than 25x in some cases)

Extra compiler allocations
--------------------------
Runtime allocations of programs are as reported above (NoFib section).
The compiler now allocates more than before. Main source of allocation
in this patch compared to base commit is the new SRT algorithm
(GHC.Cmm.Info.Build). Below is some of the extra work we do with this
patch, numbers generated by profiled stage 2 compiler when building a
pathological case (the test 'ManyConstructors') with '-O2':
- We now sort the final STG for a module, which means traversing the
entire program, generating free variable set for each top-level
binding, doing SCC analysis, and re-ordering the program. In
ManyConstructors this step allocates 97,889,952 bytes.
- We now do SRT analysis on static data, which in a program like
ManyConstructors causes analysing 10,000 bindings that we would
previously just skip. This step allocates 70,898,352 bytes.
- We now maintain an SRT map for the entire module as we compile Cmm
groups:
data ModuleSRTInfo = ModuleSRTInfo
{ ...
, moduleSRTMap :: SRTMap
}
(SRTMap is just a strict Map from the 'containers' library)
This map gets an entry for most bindings in a module (exceptions are
THUNKs and CAFFY static functions). For ManyConstructors this map
gets 50015 entries.
- Once we're done with code generation we generate a NameSet from SRTMap
for the non-CAFFY names in the current module. This set gets the same
number of entries as the SRTMap.
- Finally we update CafInfos in ModDetails for the non-CAFFY Ids, using
the NameSet generated in the previous step. This usually does the
least amount of allocation among the work listed here.
Only place with this patch where we do less work in the CAF analysis in
the tidying pass (CoreTidy). However that doesn't save us much, as the
pass still needs to traverse the whole program and update IdInfos for
other reasons. Only thing we don't here do is the `hasCafRefs` pass over
the RHS of bindings, which is a stateless pass that returns a boolean
value, so it doesn't allocate much.
(Metric changes blow are all increased allocations)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix scoping of TyCon binders in TcTyClsDecls
This patch fixes #17566 by refactoring the way we decide the final
identity of the tyvars in the TyCons of a possibly-recursive nest
of type and class decls, possibly with associated types.
It's all laid out in
Note [Swizzling the tyvars before generaliseTcTyCon]
Main changes:
* We have to generalise each decl (with its associated types)
all at once: TcTyClsDecls.generaliseTyClDecl
* The main new work is done in TcTyClsDecls.swizzleTcTyConBndrs
* The mysterious TcHsSyn.zonkRecTyVarBndrs dies altogether
Other smaller things:
* A little refactoring, moving bindTyClTyVars from tcTyClDecl1
to tcDataDefn, tcSynRhs, etc. Clearer, reduces the number of
parameters
* Reduce the amount of swizzling required.
Specifically, bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Tv doesn't need
to clone a new Name for the TyVarTv, and not
cloning means that in the vasly common case,
swizzleTyConBndrs is a no-op
In detail:
Rename newTyVarTyVar --> cloneTyVarTyVar
Add newTyVarTyTyVar that doesn't clone
Use the non-cloning newTyVarTyVar in
bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Tv
Rename newFlexiKindedTyVarTyVar
--> cloneFlexiKindedTyVarTyVar
* Define new utility function and use it
HsDecls.familyDeclName ::
FamilyDecl (GhcPass p) -> IdP (GhcPass p)
Updates haddock submodule.

Old documentation suggests that -fcatch-bottoms only adds a default
alternative to bottoming case expression, but that's not true. We use a
very simplistic "is exhaustive" check and add default alternatives to
any case expression that does not cover all constructors of the type. In
case of GADTs this simple check assumes all constructors should be
covered, even the ones ruled out by the type of the scrutinee.
Update the documentation to reflect this.

whether to simplify / what sort of interface file to write.
I hope eventually we will always write post-tc interface files, which

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Record type constraints arising from existentials in `PmCoreCt`s
In #17703 (a follow-up of !2192), we established that contrary to my
belief, type constraints arising from existentials in code like
```hs
data Ex where Ex :: a -> Ex
f _ | let x = Ex @Int 15 = case x of Ex -> ...
```
are in fact useful.
This commit makes a number of refactorings and improvements to comments,
but fundamentally changes `addCoreCt.core_expr` to record the type
constraint `a ~ Int` in addition to `x ~ Ex @a y` and `y ~ 15`.
Fixes #17703.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">testlib: Extend existing *_opts in extra_*_opts
Previously we'd override the existing {run,hc} opts in
extra_{run,hc}_opts, which caused flakiness in T1969, see #17712.
extra_{run,hc}_opts now extends {run,hc} opts, instead of overriding.
Also we shrank the allocation area for T1969 in order to increase
residency sampling frequency.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Reform the free variable finders for types
This patch delivers on (much of) #17509.
* Introduces the shallow vs deep free variable distinction
* Introduce TyCoRep.foldType,
foldType :: Monoid a => TyCoFolder env a
-> env -> Type -> a
and use it in the free variable finders.
* Substitution in TyCoSubst
* ASSERTs are on for checkValidSubst
* checkValidSubst uses shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes etc
Quite a few things still to do
* We could use foldType in lots of other places
* We could use mapType for substitution. (Check that we get
good code!)
* Some (but not yet all) clients of substitution can now
save time by using shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes
* All calls to tyCoVarsOfTypes should be inspected; most of
them should be shallow. Maybe.
* Currently shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes still returns
unification variables, but not CoVarHoles.
Reason: we need to return unification variables
in some of the calls in TcSimplify, eg when promoting.
* We should do the same thing for tyCoFVsOfTypes, which is
currently unchanged.
* tyCoFVsOfTypes returns CoVarHoles, because of the
use in TcSimplify.mkResidualConstraints. See
Note [Emitting the residual implication in simplifyInfer]
* #17509 talks about "relevant" variables too.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce IsPass; refactor wrappers.
There are two main payloads of this patch:
1. This introduces IsPass, which allows e.g. printing
code to ask what pass it is running in (Renamed vs
Typechecked) and thus print extension fields. See
Note [IsPass] in Hs.Extension
2. This moves the HsWrap constructor into an extension
field, where it rightly belongs. This is done for
HsExpr and HsCmd, but not for HsPat, which is left
as an exercise for the reader.
There is also some refactoring around SyntaxExprs, but this
is really just incidental.
This patch subsumes !1721 (sorry @chreekat).
Along the way, there is a bit of refactoring in GHC.Hs.Extension,
including the removal of NameOrRdrName in favor of NoGhcTc.
This meant that we had no real need for GHC.Hs.PlaceHolder, so
I got rid of it.

unpackCString# is a recursive function which for each iteration
returns a Cons cell containing the current Char, and a thunk for

In this patch we change from storing addr + offset inside this thunk
to storing only the addr, simply incrementing the address on each
iteration.
This saves one word of allocation per unpacked character.
For a program like "main = print "<largishString>" this amounts
to 2-3% fewer % in bytes allocated.
I also removed the now redundant local unpack definitions.

option in hadrian's `Flavour` type.
Also fix Hadrian's treatment of the `Use Threaded` entry in `settings`.
Previously it would incorrectly claim `Use Threaded = True` if we were
building the `threaded` runtime way. However, this is inconsistent with
the `make` build system, which defines it to be whether the `ghc`
executable is linked against the threaded runtime.

key and is defined in Haskell (with a RuntimeRep-polymorphic type) in
GHC.Base.
The one piece of magic that ($) retains is that it a special typing
rule to allow type inference with higher-rank types
(e.g. `runST $ blah`; see Note [Typing rule for ($)] in TcExpr).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: Fix Arena blocks accounting for MBlock sized allocations
When requesting more than BLOCKS_PER_MBLOCK blocks allocGroup can return a
different number of blocks than requested. Here we use the number of
requested blocks, however arenaFree will subtract the actual number of
blocks we got from arena_blocks (possibly) resulting in a negative value
and triggering ASSERT(arena_blocks >= 0).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">hadrian: Windows fixes (bindists, CI)
This commit implements a few Windows-specific fixes which get us from a CI
job that can't even get as far as starting the testsuite driver, to a state
where we can run the entire testssuite (but have test failures to fix).
- Don't forget about a potential extension for the haddock program, when
preparing the bindist.
- Build the timeout program, used by the testsuite driver on Windows in place
of the Python script used elsewhere, using the boot compiler. We could
alternatively build it with the compiler that we're going to test but this
would be a lot more tedious to write.
- Implement a wrapper-script less installation procedure for Windows, in
`hadrian/bindist/Makefile.
- Make dependencies a bit more accurate in the aforementioned Makefile.
- Update Windows/Hadrian CI job accordingly.
This patch fixes #17486.

This patch implements the [sugggestion from Simon (PJ)](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/14628#note_146559):
- Make `TcErrors.getSkolemInfo` return a `SkolemInfo` rather than an `Implication`.
- If `getSkolemInfo` gets `RuntimeUnk`s, just return a new data constructor in `SkolemInfo`, called `RuntimeUnkSkol`.
- In `TcErrors.pprSkols` print something sensible for a `RuntimeUnkSkol`.
The `getSkolemInfo` function paniced while formating suggestions to add type annotations (subfunction `suggestAddSig`)
to a *"Couldn't match type ‘x’ with ‘y’"* error message.
The `getSkolemInfo` function didn't find any Implication value and paniced.
With this patch the `getSkolemInfo` function does no longer panic, if it finds `RuntimeUnkSkol`s.
As the panic occured while processing an error message, we don't need to implement any new error message!

| Yes { a :: Int, b :: Bool }
update No = No
update r@(Yes {}) = r { b = False }
```
We should make use of long distance info in
`-Wincomplete-record-updates` checking. But the call to `matchWrapper`
in the `RecUpd` case didn't specify a scrutinee expression, which would
correspond to the `record_expr` `r` here. That is fixed now.

We now run CPR after demand analysis (except for after the final demand
analysis run just before code gen). CPR got its own dump flags
(`-ddump-cpr-anal`, `-ddump-cpr-signatures`), but not its own flag to
activate/deactivate. It will run with `-fstrictness`/`-fworker-wrapper`.
As explained on the wiki page, this step is necessary for a sane Nested

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">gitlab-ci: Consolidate CI logic
This moves nearly all of the CI logic to .gitlab/ci.sh. This improves
things in a number of ways:
* it's harder for inconsistencies to arise between architectures
* it's easier to share logic between architectures
* on Windows, it's easier to ensure that all CI steps are executed from
within a properly initialized mingw session.
While in town I also add a FreeBSD build job and update the Windows job
to use the gitlab-runner PowerShell executor, since cmd.exe will be
deprecated soon (fixing #17699).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">base: Always clamp reads/writes to 2GB in length
Previously we did this only on Darwin due to #17414. However, even on
other platforms >2GB writes are on shaky ground. POSIX explicitly says
that the result is implementation-specified and Linux will write at most
0x7ffff000, even on 64-bit platforms. Moreover, getting the sign
of the syscall result correct is tricky, as demonstrated by the fact
that T17414 currently fails on FreeBSD.
For simplicity we now just uniformly clamp to 0x7ffff000 on all
platforms.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">SysTools: Use "process job" when spawning processes on Windows
GHC should make calls using process jobs when calling out to GCC and LD.
The reason is these use the exec () family of posix functions. Window's
process model doesn't allow replacement of processes so this is emulated
by creating a new process and immediately exiting the old one. Because
of this when using normal Windows wait functions you would return even
without the child process having finished. In this case if you are
depending on data from the child you will enter a race condition.
The usual fix for this is to use process jobs and wait for the
termination of all children that have ever been spawn by the process you
called. But also waiting for the freeing of all resources.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">If a :reload finds syntax errors in the module graph, remove the loaded modules. (Fixes #17549)
The processing in `compiler/main/GhcMake.hs` computes the ModuleGraph. If it finds errors
in the module header or in the import specifications, then the new module graph is
incomplete and should not be used.
The code before #17549 just reported the errors and left the old ModuleGraph in place.
The new code of this MR replaces the old ModuleGraph with an empty one.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Hadrian: refactor GMP in-tree build support (#17756)
* Hadrian doesn't use integer-gmp/config.mk file anymore to determine if
building GMP in-tree is required.
"config.mk" is created by Cabal when the integer-gmp package is
configured and this file is still untracked by Hadrian. This led to a
tricky configure "race" because "config.mk" is built by the
"setup-config" rule, but this rule is also used to find dependencies,
in particular the "ghc-gmp.h" header, but the creation of this file
was depending (without being tracked) on "config.mk".
Now Hadrian only builds in-tree GMP if `--with-intree-gmp` is passed
to the top-level configure script.
* in-tree GMP isn't built once for all in a fixed stage (Stage1)
anymore. It is built per stage which is required if we build a
cross-compiler
* switching between in-tree and external GMP is now supported without
having to clean the build directory first.
* "wrappers.c" now includes "ghc-gmp.h" instead of "ghc.h". It
helps ensuring that the build system generates "ghc-gmp.h".
* build in-tree GMP in "<root>/stageN/gmp/gmpbuild" and produce useful
artefacts (libgmp.a, gmp.h, objs/*.o) in "<root>/stageN/gmp"

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove the MonadFail P instance
There were two issues with this instance:
* its existence meant that a pattern match failure in the P monad would
produce a user-visible parse error, but the error message would not be
helpful to the user
* due to the MFP migration strategy, we had to use CPP in Lexer.x,
and that created issues for #17750
Updates haddock submodule.

(Commit message written by Omer, most of the code is written by Simon
and Richard)
See Note [Implementing unsafeCoerce] for how unsafe equality proofs and
the new unsafeCoerce# are implemented.
New notes added:
- [Checking for levity polymorphism] in CoreLint.hs
- [Implementing unsafeCoerce] in base/Unsafe/Coerce.hs
- [Patching magic definitions] in Desugar.hs
- [Wiring in unsafeCoerce#] in Desugar.hs
Only breaking change in this patch is unsafeCoerce# is not exported from
GHC.Exts, instead of GHC.Prim.
Fixes #17443

Test changes
------------
- break006 is marked as broken, see #17833
- The compiler allocates less when building T14683 (an unsafeCoerce#-
heavy happy-generated code) on 64-platforms. Allocates more on 32-bit
platforms.
- Rest of the increases are tiny amounts (still enough to pass the
threshold) in micro-benchmarks. I briefly looked at each one in a
profiling build: most of the increased allocations seem to be because
of random changes in the generated code.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Parser API annotations: RealSrcLoc
During parsing, GHC collects lexical information about AST nodes and
stores it in a map. It is needed to faithfully restore original source
code, e.g. compare these expressions:
a = b
a = b
The position of the equality sign is not recorded in the AST, so it must
be stored elsewhere.
This system is described in Note [Api annotations].
Before this patch, the mapping was represented by:
Map (SrcSpan, AnnKeywordId) SrcSpan
After this patch, the mapping is represented by:
Map (RealSrcSpan, AnnKeywordId) RealSrcSpan
The motivation behind this change is to avoid using the Ord SrcSpan
instance (required by Map here), as it interferes with #17632 (see the
discussion there).
SrcSpan is isomorphic to Either String RealSrcSpan, but we shouldn't
use those strings as Map keys. Those strings are intended as hints to
the user, e.g. "<interactive>" or "<compiler-generated code>", so they
are not a valid way to identify nodes in the source code.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove Ord SrcLoc, Ord SrcSpan
Before this patch, GHC relied on Ord SrcSpan to identify source elements, by
using SrcSpan as Map keys:
blackList :: Map SrcSpan () -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs
instanceMap :: Map SrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs
Firstly, this design is not valid in presence of UnhelpfulSpan, as it
distinguishes between UnhelpfulSpan "X" and UnhelpfulSpan "Y", but those
strings are messages for the user, unfit to serve as identifiers for source
elements.
Secondly, this design made it hard to extend SrcSpan with additional data.
Recall that the definition of SrcSpan is:
data SrcSpan =
RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan
| UnhelpfulSpan !FastString
Say we want to extend the RealSrcSpan constructor with additional information:
data SrcSpan =
RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan !AdditionalInformation
| UnhelpfulSpan !FastString
getAdditionalInformation :: SrcSpan -> AdditionalInformation
getAdditionalInformation (RealSrcSpan _ a) = a
Now, in order for Map SrcSpan to keep working correctly, we must *ignore* additional
information when comparing SrcSpan values:
instance Ord SrcSpan where
compare (RealSrcSpan r1 _) (RealSrcSpan r2 _) = compare r1 r2
...
However, this would violate an important law:
a == b therefore f a == f b
Ignoring AdditionalInformation in comparisons would mean that with
f=getAdditionalInformation, the law above does not hold.
A more robust design is to avoid Ord SrcSpan altogether, which is what this patch implements.
The mappings are changed to use RealSrcSpan instead:
blackList :: Set RealSrcSpan -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs
instanceMap :: Map RealSrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs
All SrcSpan comparisons are now done with explicit comparison strategies:
SrcLoc.leftmost_smallest
SrcLoc.leftmost_largest
SrcLoc.rightmost_smallest
These strategies are not subject to the law mentioned above and can easily
discard both the string stored in UnhelpfulSpan and AdditionalInformation.
Updates haddock submodule.

Consider
```hs
data T = A | B | C
f :: T -> Int
f A = 1
f x = case x of
A -> 2
B -> 3
C -> 4
```
Clearly, the RHS returning 2 is redundant. But we don't currently see
that, because our approximation to the covered set of the inner case
expression just picks up the positive information from surrounding
pattern matches. It lacks the context sensivity that `x` can't be `A`
anymore!
Therefore, we adopt the conceptually and practically superior approach
of reusing the covered set of a particular GRHS from an outer pattern
match. In this case, we begin checking the `case` expression with the
covered set of `f`s second clause, which encodes the information that
`x` can't be `A` anymore. After this MR, we will successfully warn about
the RHS returning 2 being redundant.
Perhaps surprisingly, this was a great simplification to the code of
both the coverage checker and the desugarer.
Found a redundant case alternative in `unix` submodule, so we have to
bump it with a fix.

When GHC is parsing a file generated by a tool, e.g. by the C preprocessor, the
tool may insert #line pragmas to adjust the locations reported to the user.
As the result, the locations recorded in RealSrcLoc are not monotonic. Elements
that appear later in the StringBuffer are not guaranteed to have a higher
line/column number.
In fact, there are no guarantees whatsoever, as #line pragmas can arbitrarily
modify locations. This lack of guarantees makes ideas such as #17544
infeasible.
This patch adds an additional bit of information to every SrcLoc:
newtype BufPos = BufPos { bufPos :: Int }
A BufPos represents the location in the StringBuffer, unaffected by any
pragmas.

In #14335 we want to be able to use both the internal interpreter (for
the plugins) and the external interpreter (for TH and GHCi) at the same
time.
This patch performs some preliminary refactoring: the `hsc_interp` field
of HscEnv replaces `hsc_iserv` and is now used to indicate which
interpreter (internal, external) to use to execute TH and GHCi.
Opt_ExternalInterpreter flag and iserv options in DynFlags are now
queried only when we set the session DynFlags. It should help making GHC
multi-target in the future by selecting an interpreter according to the
selected target.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simplify IfaceIdInfo type
IfaceIdInfo type is confusing: there's practically no difference between
`NoInfo` and `HasInfo []`. The comments say NoInfo is used when
-fomit-interface-pragmas is enabled, but we don't need to distinguish
`NoInfo` from `HasInfo []` in when reading the interface so the
distinction is not important.
This patch simplifies the type by removing NoInfo. When we have no info
we use an empty list.
With this change we no longer read the info list lazily when reading an
IfaceInfoItem, but when reading an IfaceId the ifIdInfo field is
read lazily, so I doubt this is going to be a problem.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Show breakpoint locations of breakpoints which were ignored during :force (#2950)
GHCi is split up into 2 major parts: The user-interface (UI)
and the byte-code interpreter. With `-fexternal-interpreter`
they even run in different processes. Communication between
the UI and the Interpreter (called `iserv`) is done using
messages over a pipe. This is called `Remote GHCI` and
explained in the Note [Remote GHCi] in `compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs`.
To process a `:force` command the UI sends a `Seq` message
to the `iserv` process. Then `iserv` does the effective
evaluation of the value. When during this process a breakpoint
is hit, the `iserv` process has no additional information to
enhance the `Ignoring breakpoint` output with the breakpoint
location.
To be able to print additional breakpoint information,
there are 2 possible implementation choices:
1. Store the needed information in the `iserv` process.
2. Print the `Ignoring breakpoint` from the UI process.
For option 1 we need to store the breakpoint info redundantely
in 2 places and this is bad. Therfore option 2 was implemented
in this MR:
- The user enters a `force` command
- The UI sends a `Seq` message to the `iserv` process.
- If processing of the `Seq` message hits a breakpoint,
the `iserv` process returns control to the UI process.
- The UI looks up the source location of the breakpoint,
and prints the enhanced `Ignoring breakpoint` output.
- The UI sends a `ResumeSeq` message to the `iserv` process,
to continue forcing.

type of <term> has nested `forall`s or `=>`s.
This is because the GHCi debugger's internals will attempt to unify a
metavariable with the type of <term> and then display the result, but if the
type has nested `forall`s or `=>`s, then unification will fail.
As a result, `:print` will bail out and the unhelpful result will be
`<term> = (_t1::t1)` (where `t1` is a metavariable).
Beware: <term> can have nested `forall`s even if its definition doesn't use
RankNTypes! Here is an example from #14828:
class Functor f where
fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
Somewhat surprisingly, `:print fmap` considers the type of fmap to have
nested foralls. This is because the GHCi debugger sees the type
`fmap :: forall f. Functor f => forall a b. (a -> b) -> f a -> f b`.
We could envision deeply instantiating this type to get the type
`forall f a b. Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b`,
but this trick wouldn't work for higher-rank types.
Instead, we adopt a simpler fix: enable `ImpredicativeTypes` when using
`:print` and friends in the GHCi debugger. This is allows metavariables
to unify with types that have nested (or higher-rank) `forall`s/`=>`s,
which makes `:print fmap` display as
`fmap = (_t1::forall a b. Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b)`, as expected.
Although ImpredicativeTypes is a somewhat unpredictable from a type inference
perspective, there is no danger in using it in the GHCi debugger, since all
of the terms that the GHCi debugger deals with have already been typechecked.

When developing a plugin I had a shadowing problem, where I generated
code
app = \f{v r7B} x{v r7B} -> f{v r7B} x{v r7B}
This is obviously wrong, since the occurrence of `f` to the right of the
arrow refers to the `x` binder (they share a Unique). However, it is
rather confusing when Lint reports
Mismatch in type between binder and occurrence
Var: x{v rB7}
since it is printing the binder, rather than the occurrence.
It is rather easy to read this as claiming there is something wrong with
the `x` occurrence!
We change the report to explicitly print both the binder and the
occurrence variables.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Re-quantify when generalising over rewrite rule types
Previously, `tcRules` would check for naughty quantification
candidates (see `Note [Naughty quantification candidates]` in
`TcMType`) when generalising over the type of a rewrite rule. This
caused sensible-looking rewrite rules (like those in #17710) to be
rejected. A more permissing (and easier-to-implement) approach is to
do what is described in `Note [Generalising in tcTyFamInstEqnGuts]`
in `TcTyClsDecls`: just re-quantify all the type variable binders,
regardless of the order in which the user specified them. After all,
the notion of type variable specificity has no real meaning in
rewrite rules, since one cannot "visibly apply" a rewrite rule.
I have written up this wisdom in
`Note [Re-quantify type variables in rules]` in `TcRules`.
As a result of this patch, compiling the `ExplicitForAllRules1` test
case now generates one fewer warning than it used to. As far as I can
tell, this is benign, since the thing that the disappearing warning
talked about was also mentioned in an entirely separate warning.
Fixes #17710.

In copying GC, with the relevant debug flags enabled, we release the old

In compacting GC we reuse the blocks and previously we didn't zero the
unused space in a compacting generation after compaction. With this
patch we zero the slop between the free pointer and the end of the block
when we're done with compaction and when switching to a new block

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make DeriveFunctor-generated code require fewer beta reductions
Issue #17880 demonstrates that `DeriveFunctor`-generated code is
surprisingly fragile when rank-_n_ types are involved. The culprit is
that `$fmap` (the algorithm used to generate `fmap` implementations)
was too keen on applying arguments with rank-_n_ types to lambdas,
which fail to typecheck more often than not.
In this patch, I change `$fmap` (both the specification and the
implementation) to produce code that avoids creating as many lambdas,
avoiding problems when rank-_n_ field types arise.
See the comments titled "Functor instances" in `TcGenFunctor` for a
more detailed description. Not only does this fix #17880, but it also
ensures that the code that `DeriveFunctor` generates will continue
to work after simplified subsumption is implemented (see #17775).
What is truly amazing is that #17880 is actually a regression
(introduced in GHC 7.6.3) caused by commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e, the fix #7436. Prior to
that commit, the version of `$fmap` that was used was almost
identical to the one used in this patch! Why did that commit change
`$fmap` then? It was to avoid severe performance issues that would
arise for recursive `fmap` implementations, such as in the example
below:
```hs
data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) deriving Functor
-- ===>
instance Functor List where
fmap f Nil = Nil
fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap (\y -> f y) xs)
```
The fact that `\y -> f y` was eta expanded caused significant
performance overheads. Commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e fixed this performance
issue, but it went too far. As a result, this patch partially
reverts 49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e.
To ensure that the performance issues pre-#7436 do not resurface,
I have taken some precautionary measures:
* I have added a special case to `$fmap` for situations where the
last type variable in an application of some type occurs directly.
If this special case fires, we avoid creating a lambda expression.
This ensures that we generate
`fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap f xs)` in the derived
`Functor List` instance above. For more details, see
`Note [Avoid unnecessary eta expansion in derived fmap implementations]`
in `TcGenFunctor`.
* I have added a `T7436b` test case to ensure that the performance
of this derived `Functor List`-style code does not regress.
When implementing this, I discovered that `$replace`, the algorithm
which generates implementations of `(<$)`, has a special case that is
very similar to the `$fmap` special case described above. `$replace`
marked this special case with a custom `Replacer` data type, which
was a bit overkill. In order to use the same machinery for both
`Functor` methods, I ripped out `Replacer` and instead implemented
a simple way to detect the special case. See the updated commentary
in `Note [Deriving <$]` for more details.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">pretty-printer: Properly parenthesise LastStmt
After ApplicatveDo strips the last `return` during renaming, the pretty
printer has to restore it. However, if the return was followed by `$`,
the dollar was stripped too and not restored.
For example, the last stamement in:
```
foo = do
x <- ...
...
return $ f x
```
would be printed as:
```
return f x
```
This commit preserved the dolar, so it becomes:
```
return $ f x
```

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">pretty-printer: Do not print ApplicativeDo join
* Do not print `join` in ApplictiveStmt, unless ppr-debug
* Print parens around multiple parallel binds
When ApplicativeDo is enabled, the renamer analyses the statements of a
`do` block and in certain cases marks them as needing to be rewritten
using `join`.
For example, if you have:
```
foo = do
a <- e1
b <- e2
doSomething a b
```
it will be desugared into:
```
foo = join (doSomething <$> e1 <*> e2)
```
After renaming but before desugaring the expression is stored
essentially as:
```
foo = do
[will need join] (a <- e1 | b <- e2)
[no return] doSomething a b
```
Before this change, the pretty printer would print a call to `join`,
even though it is not needed at this stage at all. The expression will be
actually rewritten into one using join only at desugaring, at which
point a literal call to join will be inserted.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">hadrian: improve dependency tracking for the check-* programs
The code in Rules.Register responsible for finding all the build artifacts
that Cabal installs when registering a library (static/shared libs, .hi files,
...) was looking in the wrong place. This patch fixes that logic and makes sure
we gather all those artifacts in a list to declare that the rule for a given
`.conf` file, our proxy for "Hadrian, please install this package in the package
db for this stage", also produces those artifacts under the said package
database.
We also were completely missing some logic to declare that the check-* programs
have dependencies besides their source code, at least when testing an in-tree
compiler.
Finally, this patch also removes redundant packages from 'testsuitePackages',
since they should already be covered by the stage<N>Packages lists from
Settings.Default.
With this patch, after a complete build and freezing stage 1, a change to
`compiler/parser/Parser.y` results in rebuilding the ghc lib, reinstalling it,
and rebuilding the few programs that depend on it, _including_ `check-ppr` and
`check-api-annotations` (therefore fixing #17273).

This patch disentangles a bit more DynFlags from the native code
generator (CmmToAsm).
In more details:
- add a new NCGConfig datatype in GHC.CmmToAsm.Config which contains the
configuration of a native code generation session
- explicitly pass NCGConfig/Platform arguments when necessary
- as a consequence `sdocWithPlatform` is gone and there are only a few
`sdocWithDynFlags` left
- remove the use of `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` from GHC.CmmToAsm.CFG
- remove `sdocDebugLevel` (now we pass the debug level via NCGConfig)
There are still some places where DynFlags is used, especially because
of pretty-printing (CLabel), because of Cmm helpers (such as
`cmmExprType`) and because of `Outputable` instance for the
instructions. These are left for future refactoring as this patch is
already big.

- So the TSO will never be moved to a generation's thread list, but it
will be promoted to generation 1.
- Generation 1 collected via mark-compact, and because the TSO is
reachable it is marked, and its `global_link` field, which is bogus at
this point (because the TSO is not in a list), will be threaded.
- Chaos ensues.
In other words, when these conditions hold:
- A TSO is reachable only after collectDeadWeakPtrs()
- It's finished (what_next is ThreadComplete or ThreadKilled)
- It's retained by mark-compact collector (moving collector doesn't
evacuate the global_list field)
We end up doing random mutations on the heap because the TSO's
global_list field is not valid, but it still looks like a heap pointer
so we thread it during compacting GC.
The fix is simple: when we traverse old_threads lists to resurrect
unreachable threads the threads that won't be resurrected currently
stays on the old_threads lists. Those threads will never be visited
again by MarkWeak so we now reset the global_list fields. This way
compacting GC does not thread pointers to nowhere.
Testing
-------
The reproducer in #17785 is quite large and hard to build, because of
the dependencies, so I'm not adding a regression test.
In my testing the reproducer would take a less than 5 seconds to run,
and once in every ~5 runs would fail with a segfault or an assertion
error. In other cases it also fails with a test failure. Because the
tests never fail with the bug fix, assuming the code is correct, this
also means that this bug can sometimes lead to incorrect runtime
results.
After the fix I was able to run the reproducer repeatedly for about an
hour, with no runtime crashes or test failures.
To run the reproducer clone the git repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/osa1/streamly --branch ghc-segfault
Then clone primitive and atomic-primops from their git repos and point
to the clones in cabal.project.local. The project should then be
buildable using GHC HEAD. Run the executable `properties` with `+RTS -c
-DZ`.
In addition to the reproducer above I run the test suite using:
$ make slowtest EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-debug -with-rtsopts=-DS \
-with-rtsopts=-c +RTS -c -RTS" SKIPWAY='nonmoving nonmoving_thr'
This enables compacting GC always in both GHC when building the test
programs and when running the test programs, and also enables sanity
checking when running the test programs. These set of flags are not
compatible for all tests so there are some failures, but I got the same
set of failures with this patch compared to GHC HEAD.

- Remove an invalid assumption about GC checking what_next field. The GC
doesn't care about what_next at all, if a TSO is reachable then all
its pointers are followed (other than global_tso, which is only
followed by compacting GC).
- Remove checkSTACK in checkTSO: TSO stacks will be visited in
checkHeapChain, or checkLargeObjects etc.
- Add an assertion in checkTSO to check that the global_link field is
sane.
- Did some refactor to remove forward decls in checkGlobalTSOList and

Right now, in the output of -ddump-timings to a file, you can't tell what the units are:
```
CodeGen [TemplateTestImports]: alloc=22454880 time=14.597
```
I believe bytes/milliseconds are the correct units, but confirmation would be appreciated. I'm basing it off of this snippet from `withTiming'`:
```
when (verbosity dflags >= 2 && prtimings == PrintTimings)
$ liftIO $ logInfo dflags (defaultUserStyle dflags)
(text "!!!" <+> what <> colon <+> text "finished in"
<+> doublePrec 2 time
<+> text "milliseconds"
<> comma
<+> text "allocated"
<+> doublePrec 3 (realToFrac alloc / 1024 / 1024)
<+> text "megabytes")
```
which implies time is in milliseconds, and allocations in bytes (which divided by 1024 would be KB, and again would be MB)

This is consistent with the interface file behavior where we omit
HsNoCafRefs annotations with -fomit-interface-pragmas (implied by -O0).
ModDetails and ModIface are just different representations of the same
thing, so they really need to be in sync. This patch does the right
thing and does not need too much explanation, but here's an example of a
problem not doing this causes in !2842:
-- MyInteger.hs
module MyInteger
( MyInteger (MyInteger)
, ToMyInteger (toMyInteger)
) where
newtype MyInteger = MyInteger Integer
class ToMyInteger a where
toMyInteger :: a -> MyInteger
instance ToMyInteger Integer where
toMyInteger = MyInteger {- . succ -}
-- Main.hs
module Main
( main
) where
import MyInteger (MyInteger (MyInteger), toMyInteger)
main :: IO ()
main = do
let (MyInteger i) = (id . toMyInteger) (41 :: Integer)
print i
If I build this with -O0, without this fix, we generate a ModDetails with
accurate LFInfo for toMyInteger (MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger) which says that
it's a LFReEntrant with arity 1. This means in the use site (Main) we tag the
value:
R3 = MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger_closure + 1;
R2 = GHC.Base.id_closure;
R1 = GHC.Base.._closure;
Sp = Sp - 16;
call stg_ap_ppp_fast(R4, R3, R2, R1) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24;
Now we change the definition by uncommenting the `succ` part and it becomes a thunk:
MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger [InlPrag=INLINE (sat-args=0)]
:: MyInteger.ToMyInteger GHC.Integer.Type.Integer
[GblId[DFunId(nt)]] =
{} \u [] $ctoMyInteger_rEA;
and its LFInfo is now LFThunk. This change in LFInfo makes a difference in the
use site: we can no longer tag it.
But becuase the interface fingerprint does not change (because ModIface does not
change) we don't rebuild Main and tag the thunk.
(1.2% increase in allocations when building T12545 on armv7 because we
generate more code without CafInfos)

In #17911, Simon recognised many warnings stemming from over-long list
unions while coverage checking Cabal's `LicenseId` module.
This patch introduces a new `PmAltConSet` type which uses a `UniqDSet`
instead of an association list for `ConLike`s. For `PmLit`s, it will
still use an assocation list, though, because a similar map data
structure would entail a lot of busy work.

This read causes NULL dereferencing when len is 0.
Fixes #17909
In the reproducer in #17909 this bug is triggered as follows:
- SimplOpt.dealWithStringLiteral is called with a single-char string
("=" in #17909)
- tailFS gets called on the FastString of the single-char string.
- tailFS checks the length of the string, which is 1, and calls
mkFastStringByteString on the tail of the ByteString, which is an
empty ByteString as the original ByteString has only one char.
- ByteString's unsafeUseAsCStringLen returns (NULL, 0) for the empty
ByteString, which is passed to mkFastStringWith.
- mkFastStringWith gets hash of the NULL pointer via hashStr, which
fails on empty strings because of this bug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simplify treatment of heterogeneous equality
Previously, if we had a [W] (a :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2), we would
spit out a [D] k1 ~ k2 and part the W as irreducible, hoping for
a unification. But we needn't do this. Instead, we now spit out
a [W] co :: k2 ~ k1 and then use co to cast the rhs of the original
Wanted. This means that we retain the connection between the
spat-out constraint and the original.
The problem with this new approach is that we cannot use the
casted equality for substitution; it's too like wanteds-rewriting-
wanteds. So, we forbid CTyEqCans that mention coercion holes.
All the details are in Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
in TcCanonical.
There are a few knock-on effects, documented where they occur.
While debugging an error in this patch, Simon and I ran into
infelicities in how patterns and matches are printed; we made
small improvements.
This patch includes mitigations for #17828, which causes spurious
pattern-match warnings. When #17828 is fixed, these lines should

The field within `PlatformMisc` within `DynFlags` is used instead.
- The field is still not exposed as a CLI flag. We might consider some
way to ensure the right RTS / libraries are used before doing that.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Demand analysis: simplify the demand for a RHS
Ticket #17932 showed that we were using a stupid demand for the RHS
of a let-binding, when the result is a product. This was the result
of a "fix" in 2013, which (happily) turns out to no longer be
necessary.
So I just deleted the code, which simplifies the demand analyser,
and fixes #17932. That in turn uncovered that the anticipation
of worker/wrapper in CPR analysis was inaccurate, hence the logic
that decides whether to unbox an argument in WW was extracted into
a function `wantToUnbox`, now consulted by CPR analysis.
I tried nofib, and got 0.0% perf changes.
All this came up when messing about with !2873 (ticket #17917),
but is idependent of it.
Unfortunately, this patch regresses #4267 and realised that it is now
blocked on #16335.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Store ComponentId details
As far as GHC is concerned, installed package components ("units") are
identified by an opaque ComponentId string provided by Cabal. But we
don't want to display it to users (as it contains a hash) so GHC queries
the database to retrieve some infos about the original source package
(name, version, component name).
This patch caches these infos in the ComponentId itself so that we don't
need to provide DynFlags (which contains installed package informations)
to print a ComponentId.
In the future we want GHC to support several independent package states
(e.g. for plugins and for target code), hence we need to avoid
implicitly querying a single global package state.

Within `checkValidDataCon`, we used to run `checkValidType` on the
argument types of a newtype constructor before running
`checkNewDataCon`, which ensures that the user does not attempt
non-sensical things such as newtypes with multiple arguments or
constraints. This works out in most situations, but this falls over
on a corner case revealed in #17955:
```hs
newtype T = Coercible () T => T ()
```
`checkValidType`, among other things, peforms an ambiguity check on
the context of a data constructor, and that it turn invokes the
constraint solver. It turns out that there is a special case in the
constraint solver for representational equalities (read: `Coercible`
constraints) that causes newtypes to be unwrapped (see
`Note [Unwrap newtypes first]` in `TcCanonical`). This special case
does not know how to cope with an ill formed newtype like `T`, so
it ends up panicking.
The solution is surprisingly simple: just invoke `checkNewDataCon`
before `checkValidType` to ensure that the illicit newtype
constructor context is detected before the constraint solver can
run amok with it.
Fixes #17955.

Before, there were two distinct Notes named
"Eta reduction for data families". This renames one of them to
"Implementing eta reduction for data families" to disambiguate the
two and fixes references in other parts of the codebase to ensure
that they are pointing to the right place.
Fixes #17313.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Adjust recursion depth for inhabitation test
In #17977, we ran into the reduction depth limit of the typechecker.
That was only a symptom of a much broader issue: The recursion depth
of the coverage checker for trying to instantiate strict fields in the
`nonVoid` test was far too high (100, the `defaultMaxTcBound`).
As a result, we were performing quite poorly on `T17977`.
Short of a proper termination analysis to prove emptyness of a type,
we just arbitrarily default to a much lower recursion limit of 3.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Re-engineer the binder-swap transformation
The binder-swap transformation is implemented by the occurrence
analyser -- see Note [Binder swap] in OccurAnal. However it had
a very nasty corner in it, for the case where the case scrutinee
was a GlobalId. This led to trouble and hacks, and ultimately
to #16296.
This patch re-engineers how the occurrence analyser implements
the binder-swap, by actually carrying out a substitution rather
than by adding a let-binding. It's all described in
Note [The binder-swap substitution].
I did a few other things along the way
* Fix a bug in StgCse, which could allow a loop breaker to be CSE'd
away. See Note [Care with loop breakers] in StgCse. I think it can
only show up if occurrence analyser sets up bad loop breakers, but
still.
* Better commenting in SimplUtils.prepareAlts
* A little refactoring in CoreUnfold; nothing significant
e.g. rename CoreUnfold.mkTopUnfolding to mkFinalUnfolding
* Renamed CoreSyn.isFragileUnfolding to hasCoreUnfolding
* Move mkRuleInfo to CoreFVs

GHC 8.10 ships with `Cabal-3.2.0.0`, so it would be convenient to
make Hadrian supporting building against 3.2.* instead of having to
rebuild the entirety of `Cabal-3.0.0.0`. There is one API change in
`Cabal-3.2.*` that affects Hadrian: the `synopsis` and `description`
functions now return `ShortText` instead of `String`. Since Hadrian
manipulates these `String`s in various places, I found that the
simplest fix was to use CPP to convert `ShortText` to `String`s
where appropriate.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix two ASSERT buglets in reifyDataCon
Two `ASSERT`s in `reifyDataCon` were always using `arg_tys`, but
`arg_tys` is not meaningful for GADT constructors. In fact, it's
worse than non-meaningful, since using `arg_tys` when reifying a
GADT constructor can lead to failed `ASSERT`ions, as #17305
demonstrates.
This patch applies the simplest possible fix to the immediate
problem. The `ASSERT`s now use `r_arg_tys` instead of `arg_tys`, as
the former makes sure to give something meaningful for GADT
constructors. This makes the panic go away at the very least. There
is still an underlying issue with the way the internals of
`reifyDataCon` work, as described in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17305#note_227023, but we
leave that as future work, since fixing the underlying issue is
much trickier (see

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Major improvements to the specialiser
This patch is joint work of Alexis King and Simon PJ. It does some
significant refactoring of the type-class specialiser. Main highlights:
* We can specialise functions with types like
f :: Eq a => a -> Ord b => b => blah
where the classes aren't all at the front (#16473). Here we can
correctly specialise 'f' based on a call like
f @Int @Bool dEqInt x dOrdBool
This change really happened in an earlier patch
commit 2d0cf6252957b8980d89481ecd0b79891da4b14b
Author: Sandy Maguire <sandy@sandymaguire.me>
Date: Thu May 16 12:12:10 2019 -0400
work that this new patch builds directly on that work, and refactors
it a bit.
* We can specialise functions with implicit parameters (#17930)
g :: (?foo :: Bool, Show a) => a -> String
Previously we could not, but now they behave just like a non-class
argument as in 'f' above.
* We can specialise under-saturated calls, where some (but not all of
the dictionary arguments are provided (#17966). For example, we can
specialise the above 'f' based on a call
map (f @Int dEqInt) xs
even though we don't (and can't) give Ord dictionary.
This may sound exotic, but #17966 is a program from the wild, and
showed significant perf loss for functions like f, if you need
saturation of all dictionaries.
* We fix a buglet in which a floated dictionary had a bogus demand
(#17810), by using zapIdDemandInfo in the NonRec case of specBind.
* A tiny side benefit: we can drop dead arguments to specialised
functions; see Note [Drop dead args from specialisations]
* Fixed a bug in deciding what dictionaries are "interesting"; see
Note [Keep the old dictionaries interesting]
This is all achieved by by building on Sandy Macguire's work in
defining SpecArg, which mkCallUDs uses to describe the arguments of
the call. Main changes:
* Main work is in specHeader, which marched down the [InBndr] from the
function definition and the [SpecArg] from the call site, together.
* specCalls no longer has an arity check; the entire mechanism now
handles unders-saturated calls fine.
* mkCallUDs decides on an argument-by-argument basis whether to
specialise a particular dictionary argument; this is new.
See mk_spec_arg in mkCallUDs.
It looks as if there are many more lines of code, but I think that
all the extra lines are comments!

Fixes #17947
When we have a ticky label for a proc, IdLabels for the ticky counter
and proc entry share the same Name. This caused overriding proc CafInfos
with the ticky CafInfos (i.e. NoCafRefs) during SRT analysis.
We now ignore the ticky labels when building SRTMaps. This makes sense
because:
- When building the current module they don't need to be in SRTMaps as
they're initialized as non-CAFFY (see mkRednCountsLabel), so they
don't take part in the dependency analysis and they're never added to
SRTs.
(Reminder: a "dependency" in the SRT analysis is a CAFFY dependency,
non-CAFFY uses are not considered as dependencies for the algorithm)
- They don't appear in the interfaces as they're not exported, so it
doesn't matter for cross-module concerns whether they're in the SRTMap
or not.
See also the new Note [Ticky labels in SRT analysis].

Issue #17151 was a very tricky example of a bug in which the
specialiser accidentally constructs a recurive dictionary,
so that everything turns into bottom.
I have fixed variants of this bug at least twice before:
see Note [Avoiding loops]. It was a bit of a struggle
to isolate the problem, greatly aided by the work that
Alexey Kuleshevich did in distilling a test case.
Once I'd understood the problem, it was not difficult to fix,
though it did lead me a bit of refactoring in specImports.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">simplifier: Kill off ufKeenessFactor
We used to have another factor, ufKeenessFactor, which would scale the
discounts before they were subtracted from the size. This was justified
with the following comment:
-- We multiple the raw discounts (args_discount and result_discount)
-- ty opt_UnfoldingKeenessFactor because the former have to do with
-- *size* whereas the discounts imply that there's some extra
-- *efficiency* to be gained (e.g. beta reductions, case reductions)
-- by inlining.
However, this is highly suspect since it means that we subtract a
*scaled* size from an absolute size, resulting in crazy (e.g. negative)
scores in some cases (#15304). We consequently killed off
ufKeenessFactor and bumped up the ufUseThreshold to compensate.
Adjustment of unfolding use threshold
=====================================
Since this removes a discount from our inlining heuristic, I revisited our
default choice of -funfolding-use-threshold to minimize the change in
overall inlining behavior. Specifically, I measured runtime allocations
and executable size of nofib and the testsuite performance tests built
using compilers (and core libraries) built with several values of
-funfolding-use-threshold.
This comes as a result of a quantitative comparison of testsuite
performance and code size as a function of ufUseThreshold, comparing
GHC trees using values of 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. The test set
consisted of nofib and the testsuite performance tests.
A full summary of these measurements are found in the description of
!2608
Comparing executable sizes (relative to the base commit) across all
nofib tests, we see that sizes are similar to the baseline:
gmean min max median
thresh
50 -6.36% -7.04% -4.82% -6.46%
60 -5.04% -5.97% -3.83% -5.11%
70 -2.90% -3.84% -2.31% -2.92%
80 -0.75% -2.16% -0.42% -0.73%
90 +0.24% -0.41% +0.55% +0.26%
100 +1.36% +0.80% +1.64% +1.37%
baseline +0.00% +0.00% +0.00% +0.00%
Likewise, looking at runtime allocations we see that 80 gives slightly
better optimisation than the baseline:
gmean min max median
thresh
50 +0.16% -0.16% +4.43% +0.00%
60 +0.09% -0.00% +3.10% +0.00%
70 +0.04% -0.09% +2.29% +0.00%
80 +0.02% -1.17% +2.29% +0.00%
90 -0.02% -2.59% +1.86% +0.00%
100 +0.00% -2.59% +7.51% -0.00%
baseline +0.00% +0.00% +0.00% +0.00%
Finally, I had to add a NOINLINE in T4306 to ensure that `upd` is
worker-wrappered as the test expects. This makes me wonder whether the
inlining heuristic is now too liberal as `upd` is quite a large
function. The same measure was taken in T12600.

Also, this change happens to avoid the spurious test output in
`plugin-recomp-change` and `plugin-recomp-change-prof` (see #17308).

This changes every unused TTG extension constructor to be strict in
its field so that the pattern-match coverage checker is smart enough
any such constructors are unreachable in pattern matches. This lets
us remove nearly every use of `noExtCon` in the GHC API. The only
ones we cannot remove are ones underneath uses of `ghcPass`, but that
is only because GHC 8.8's and 8.10's coverage checkers weren't smart
enough to perform this kind of reasoning. GHC HEAD's coverage
checker, on the other hand, _is_ smart enough, so we guard these uses
of `noExtCon` with CPP for now.
Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix CNF handling in compacting GC
Fixes #17937
Previously compacting GC simply ignored CNFs. This is mostly fine as
most (see "What about small compacts?" below) CNF objects don't have
outgoing pointers, and are "large" (allocated in large blocks) and large
objects are not moved or compacted.
However if we do GC *during* sharing-preserving compaction then the CNF
will have a hash table mapping objects that have been moved to the CNF
to their location in the CNF, to be able to preserve sharing.
This case is handled in the copying collector, in `scavenge_compact`,
where we evacuate hash table entries and then rehash the table.
Compacting GC ignored this case.
We now visit CNFs in all generations when threading pointers to the
compacted heap and thread hash table keys. A visited CNF is added to the
list `nfdata_chain`. After compaction is done, we re-visit the CNFs in
that list and rehash the tables.
The overhead is minimal: the list is static in `Compact.c`, and link
field is added to `StgCompactNFData` closure. Programs that don't use
CNFs should not be affected.
To test this CNF tests are now also run in a new way 'compacting_gc',
which just passes `-c` to the RTS, enabling compacting GC for the oldest
generation. Before this patch the result would be:
Unexpected failures:
compact_gc.run compact_gc [bad exit code (139)] (compacting_gc)
compact_huge_array.run compact_huge_array [bad exit code (1)] (compacting_gc)
With this patch all tests pass. I can also pass `-c -DS` without any
failures.
What about small compacts? Small CNFs are still not handled by the
compacting GC. However so far I'm unable to write a test that triggers a
runtime panic ("update_fwd: unknown/strange object") by allocating a
small CNF in a compated heap. It's possible that I'm missing something
and it's not possible to have a small CNF.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Significant refactor of Lint
This refactoring of Lint was triggered by #17923, which is
fixed by this patch.
The main change is this. Instead of
lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedKind
we now have
lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedType
Previously, all of typeKind was effectively duplicate in lintType.
Moreover, since we have an ambient substitution, we still had to
apply the substition here and there, sometimes more than once. It
was all very tricky, in the end, and made my head hurt.
Now, lintType returns a fully linted type, with all substitutions
performed on it. This is much simpler.
The same thing is needed for Coercions. Instead of
lintCoercion :: OutCoercion
-> LintM (LintedKind, LintedKind,
LintedType, LintedType, Role)
we now have
lintCoercion :: Coercion -> LintM LintedCoercion
Much simpler! The code is shorter and less bug-prone.
There are a lot of knock on effects. But life is now better.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Zero out pinned block alignment slop when profiling
The heap profiler currently cannot traverse pinned blocks because of
alignment slop. This used to just be a minor annoyance as the whole block
is accounted into a special cost center rather than the respective object's
CCS, cf. #7275. However for the new root profiler we would like to be able
to visit _every_ closure on the heap. We need to do this so we can get rid
of the current 'flip' bit hack in the heap traversal code.
Since info pointers are always non-zero we can in principle skip all the
slop in the profiler if we can rely on it being zeroed. This assumption
caused problems in the past though, commit a586b33f8e ("rts: Correct
handling of LARGE ARR_WORDS in LDV profiler"), part of !1118, tried to use
the same trick for BF_LARGE objects but neglected to take into account that
shrink*Array# functions don't ensure that slop is zeroed when not
compiling with profiling.
Later, commit 0c114c6599 ("Handle large ARR_WORDS in heap census (fix
as we will only be assuming slop is zeroed when profiling is on.
This commit also reduces the ammount of slop we introduce in the first
place by calculating the needed alignment before doing the allocation for
small objects where we know the next available address. For large objects
we don't know how much alignment we'll have to do yet since those details
are hidden behind the allocateMightFail function so there we continue to
allocate the maximum additional words we'll need to do the alignment.
So we don't have to duplicate all this logic in the cmm code we pull it
into the RTS allocatePinned function instead.

We've had this longstanding issue in the heap profiler, where the time of
the last sample in the profile is sometimes way off causing the rendered
graph to be quite useless for long runs.
It seems to me the problem is that we use mut_user_time() for the last
sample as opposed to getRTSStats(), which we use when calling heapProfile()
in GC.c.
The former is equivalent to getProcessCPUTime() but the latter does
some additional stuff:
getProcessCPUTime() - end_init_cpu - stats.gc_cpu_ns -
stats.nonmoving_gc_cpu_ns
So to fix this just use getRTSStats() in both places.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Mark DataCon wrappers CONLIKE
Now that DataCon wrappers don’t inline until phase 0 (see commit
b78cc64e923716ac0512c299f42d4d0012306c05), it’s important that
case-of-known-constructor and RULE matching be able to see saturated
applications of DataCon wrappers in unfoldings. Making them conlike is a
natural way to do it, since they are, in fact, precisely the sort of
thing the CONLIKE pragma exists to solve.
Fixes #18012.
This also bumps the version of the parsec submodule to incorporate a
patch that avoids a metric increase on the haddock perf tests. The
increase was not really a flaw in this patch, as parsec was implicitly
relying on inlining heuristics. The patch to parsec just adds some
INLINABLE pragmas, and we get a nice performance bump out of it (well
beyond the performance we lost from this patch).

In tab-completion for the `:break` command, only those
identifiers should be shown, that are accepted in the
`:break` command. Hence these identifiers must be
- defined in an interpreted module
- top-level
- currently in scope
- listed in a `ModBreaks` value as a possible breakpoint.
The identifiers my be qualified or unqualified.
To get all possible top-level breakpoints for tab-completeion
with the correct qualification do:
1. Build the list called `pifsBreaks` of all pairs of
(Identifier, module-filename) from the `ModBreaks` values.
Here all identifiers are unqualified.
2. Build the list called `pifInscope` of all pairs of
(Identifiers, module-filename) with identifiers from
the `GlobalRdrEnv`. Take only those identifiers that are
in scope and have the correct prefix.
Here the identifiers may be qualified.
3. From the `pifInscope` list seclect all pairs that can be
found in the `pifsBreaks` list, by comparing only the
unqualified part of the identifier.
The remaining identifiers can be used for tab-completion.
This ensures, that we show only identifiers, that can be used
in a `:break` command.

This patch implements eager instantiation, a small but critical change
to the type inference engine, #17173. The main change is this:
When inferring types, always return an instantiated type
(for now, deeply instantiated; in future shallowly instantiated)
There is more discussion in
https://www.tweag.io/posts/2020-04-02-lazy-eager-instantiation.html
There is quite a bit of refactoring in this patch:
* The ir_inst field of GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.InferResultk
has entirely gone. So tcInferInst and tcInferNoInst have collapsed
into tcInfer.
* Type inference of applications, via tcInferApp and
tcInferAppHead, are substantially refactored, preparing
the way for Quick Look impredicativity.
* New pure function GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.collectHsArgs and applyHsArgs
are beatifully dual. We can see the zipper!
* GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.tcArgs is now much nicer; no longer needs to return
a wrapper
* In HsExpr, HsTypeApp now contains the the actual type argument,
and is used in desugaring, rather than putting it in a mysterious
wrapper.
* I struggled a bit with good error reporting in
Unify.matchActualFunTysPart. It's a little bit simpler than before,
but still not great.
Some smaller things
* Rename tcPolyExpr --> tcCheckExpr
tcMonoExpr --> tcLExpr
* tcPatSig moves from GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType to GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat

Issue #18076 drew my attention to the undocumented `-fast-llvm` flag for
the LLVM code generator introduced in
22733532171330136d87533d523f565f2a4f102f. Speaking to Moritz about this,
the motivation for this flag was to avoid potential incompatibilities
between LLVM and the assembler/linker toolchain by making LLVM
responsible for machine-code generation.
Unfortunately, this cannot possibly work: the LLVM backend's mangler
performs a number of transforms on the assembler generated by LLVM that
are necessary for correctness. These are currently:
* mangling Haskell functions' symbol types to be `object` instead of
`function` on ELF platforms (necessary for tables-next-to-code)
* mangling AVX instructions to ensure that we don't assume alignment
(which LLVM otherwise does)
* mangling Darwin's subsections-via-symbols directives
Given that these are all necessary I don't believe that we can support
`-fast-llvm`. Let's rather remove it.

- `ConPat{In,Out}` -> `ConPat`
- `CoPat` -> `XPat (CoPat ..)`
Note that `GHC.HS.*` still uses `HsWrap`, but only when `p ~ GhcTc`.
After this change, moving the type family instances out of `GHC.HS.*` is
sufficient to break the cycle.
Add XCollectPat class to decide how binders are collected from XXPat based on the pass.
Previously we did this with IsPass, but that doesn't work for Haddock's
DocNameI, and the constraint doesn't express what actual distinction is being
made. Perhaps a class for collecting binders more generally is in order, but we
haven't attempted this yet.
Pure refactor of code around ConPat
- InPat/OutPat synonyms removed
- rename several identifiers
- redundant constraints removed
- move extension field in ConPat to be first
- make ConPat use record syntax more consistently
Fix T6145 (ConPatIn became ConPat)
Add comments from SPJ.
Add comment about haddock's use of CollectPass.

In !1798 we were requested to replace many `Bool`s with this data type.
But those bools had `False` meaning `NotBoot`, so the `Ord` instance
would be flipped if we use this data-type as-is.
Since the planned formally-`Bool` occurrences vastly outnumber the
current occurrences, we figured it would be better to conform the `Ord`
instance to how the `Bool` is used now, fixing any issues, rather than
fix them currently with the bigger refactor later in !1798. That way,
!1798 can be a "pure" refactor with no behavioral changes.

The idea being that when a builder('s command) fails, we quite likely want to
have all the information available to figure out why. Depending on the builder
_and_ the particular problem, the useful bits of information can be printed
on stdout or stderr.
We accomplish this by defining a simple wrapper for Shake's `cmd` function,
that just _always_ captures both streams in case the command returns a non-zero
exit code, and by using this wrapper everywhere in `hadrian/src/Builder.hs`.
Fixes #18089.

Over the years the unit management code has been modified a lot to keep
up with changes in Cabal (e.g. support for several library components in
the same package), to integrate BackPack, etc. I found it very hard to
understand as the terminology wasn't consistent, was referring to past
concepts, etc.
The terminology is now explained as clearly as I could in the Note
"About Units" and the code is refactored to reflect it.
-------------------
Many names were misleading: UnitId is not an Id but could be a virtual
unit (an indefinite one instantiated on the fly), IndefUnitId
constructor may contain a definite instantiated unit, etc.
* Rename IndefUnitId into InstantiatedUnit
* Rename IndefModule into InstantiatedModule
* Rename UnitId type into Unit
* Rename IndefiniteUnitId constructor into VirtUnit
* Rename DefiniteUnitId constructor into RealUnit
* Rename packageConfigId into mkUnit
* Rename getPackageDetails into unsafeGetUnitInfo
* Rename InstalledUnitId into UnitId
Remove references to misleading ComponentId: a ComponentId is just an
indefinite unit-id to be instantiated.
* Rename ComponentId into IndefUnitId
* Rename ComponentDetails into UnitPprInfo
* Fix display of UnitPprInfo with empty version: this is now used for
units dynamically generated by BackPack
Generalize several types (Module, Unit, etc.) so that they can be used
with different unit identifier types: UnitKey, UnitId, Unit, etc.
* GenModule: Module, InstantiatedModule and InstalledModule are now
instances of this type
* Generalize DefUnitId, IndefUnitId, Unit, InstantiatedUnit,
PackageDatabase
Replace BackPack fake "hole" UnitId by a proper HoleUnit constructor.
Add basic support for UnitKey. They should be used more in the future to
avoid mixing them up with UnitId as we do now.
Add many comments.

If `-dppr-debug` is set, then PprUser and PprDump styles are silently
replaced with PprDebug style. This was done in `mkUserStyle` and
`mkDumpStyle` smart constructors. As a consequence they needed a
DynFlags parameter.
Now we keep the original PprUser and PprDump styles until they are used
to create an `SDocContext`. I.e. the substitution is only performed in
`initSDocContext`.

`HsWrapper`s introduce evidence bindings through `WpEvLam` which the
pattern-match coverage checker should be made aware of.
Failing to do so caused #18049, where the resulting impreciseness of
imcompleteness warnings seemingly contradicted with
`-Winaccessible-code`.
The solution is simple: Collect all the evidence binders of an
`HsWrapper` and add it to the ambient `Deltas` before desugaring
the wrapped expression.
But that means we pick up many more evidence bindings, even when they
wrap around code without a single pattern match to check! That regressed
`T3064` by over 300%, so now we are adding long-distance info lazily
through judicious use of `unsafeInterleaveIO`.
Fixes #18049.

the simplifier will clean them up immediately anyway, but it can clutter

So being bottom is bad.

So better to return a civilised expression, even though it is

Commit e3c374cc5bd7eb49649b9f507f9f7740697e3f70 ended up
fixing quite a few bugs:
* This commit fixes #16244 completely. A regression test has been

* This commit fixes one program from #16245. (The program in

panics, and the program in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16245#note_211400 still
loops infinitely.) A regression test has been added for this
program.
* This commit fixes #16758. Accordingly, this patch removes the
`expect_broken` label from the `T16758` test case, moves it from
`should_compile` to `should_fail` (as it should produce an error
message), and checks in the expected stderr.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor hole constraints.
Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and
partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via
the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting,
there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line.
In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change
a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition:
* the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type
of the hole, which is not a predicate at all
* type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried
evidence, which was never used
* tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create
a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy
The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints.
It flows much more nicely now.
Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in
GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding.
This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor
the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's
"predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with
that future patch.
No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal.
It turns out that this change improves the performance of
the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints
are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated
deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here:

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">nonmoving: Fix handling of dirty objects
Previously we (incorrectly) relied on failed_to_evac to be "precise".
That is, we expected it to only be true if *all* of an object's fields
lived outside of the non-moving heap. However, does not match the
behavior of failed_to_evac, which is true if *any* of the object's
fields weren't promoted (meaning that some others *may* live in the
non-moving heap).
This is problematic as we skip the non-moving write barrier for dirty
objects (which we can only safely do if *all* fields point outside of
the non-moving heap).
Clearly this arises due to a fundamental difference in the behavior
expected of failed_to_evac in the moving and non-moving collector.
e.g., in the moving collector it is always safe to conservatively say
failed_to_evac=true whereas in the non-moving collector the safe value
is false.
This issue went unnoticed as I never wrote down the dirtiness
invariant enforced by the non-moving collector. We now define this
invariant as
An object being marked as dirty implies that all of its fields are
on the mark queue (or, equivalently, update remembered set).
To maintain this invariant we teach nonmovingScavengeOne to push the
fields of objects which we fail to evacuate to the update remembered
set. This is a simple and reasonably cheap solution and avoids the
complexity and fragility that other, more strict alternative invariants
would require.
All of this is described in a new Note, Note [Dirty flags in the
non-moving collector] in NonMoving.c.

`exceptions` is a stage-0 boot library as of commit
30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413, which means that building
`exceptions` in a GHC tree will generate a `dist-boot` directory.
However, this directory was not specified in `exceptions`'
`.gitignore` file, which causes it to dirty up the current `git`
working directory.
Accordingly, this bumps the `exceptions` submodule to commit
ghc/packages/exceptions@23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93080df98f,
which adds `dist-boot` to the `.gitignore` file.

This reduces residency of compiler quite a bit on some programs.
Example stats when building T10370:
Before:
2,871,242,832 bytes allocated in the heap
4,693,328,008 bytes copied during GC
33,941,448 bytes maximum residency (276 sample(s))
375,976 bytes maximum slop
83 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
After:
2,858,897,344 bytes allocated in the heap
4,629,255,440 bytes copied during GC
32,616,624 bytes maximum residency (278 sample(s))
314,400 bytes maximum slop
80 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
So -3.9% residency, -1.3% bytes copied and -0.4% allocations.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">CprAnal: Don't attach CPR sigs to expandable bindings (#18154)
Instead, look through expandable unfoldings in `cprTransform`.
See the new Note [CPR for expandable unfoldings]:
```
Long static data structures (whether top-level or not) like
xs = x1 : xs1
xs1 = x2 : xs2
xs2 = x3 : xs3
should not get CPR signatures, because they
* Never get WW'd, so their CPR signature should be irrelevant after analysis
(in fact the signature might even be harmful for that reason)
* Would need to be inlined/expanded to see their constructed product
* Recording CPR on them blows up interface file sizes and is redundant with
their unfolding. In case of Nested CPR, this blow-up can be quadratic!
But we can't just stop giving DataCon application bindings the CPR property,
for example
fac 0 = 1
fac n = n * fac (n-1)
fac certainly has the CPR property and should be WW'd! But FloatOut will
transform the first clause to
lvl = 1
fac 0 = lvl
If lvl doesn't have the CPR property, fac won't either. But lvl doesn't have a
CPR signature to extrapolate into a CPR transformer ('cprTransform'). So
instead we keep on cprAnal'ing through *expandable* unfoldings for these arity
0 bindings via 'cprExpandUnfolding_maybe'.
In practice, GHC generates a lot of (nested) TyCon and KindRep bindings, one
for each data declaration. It's wasteful to attach CPR signatures to each of
them (and intractable in case of Nested CPR).
```
Fixes #18154.

This implements chunks (2) and (3) of
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16762#note_270170. Namely,
it introduces a dedicated `HsPatSigType` AST type, which represents
the types that can appear in pattern signatures and term-level `RULE`
binders. Previously, these were represented with `LHsSigWcType`.
Although `LHsSigWcType` is isomorphic to `HsPatSigType`, the intended
semantics of the two types are slightly different, as evidenced by
the fact that they have different code paths in the renamer and
typechecker.
See also the new `Note [Pattern signature binders and scoping]` in
`GHC.Hs.Types`.

* Replace some non-deterministic lazy folds with
strict folds.
* Replace some O(n log n) folds in deterministic order
with O(n) non-deterministic folds.
* Replace some folds with set-operations on the underlying
IntMaps.
This reduces max residency when compiling
`nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs` with -O0 by about 1%.
Maximum residency when compiling Cabal also seems reduced on the
order of 3-9%.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptions
This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called
the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions"
plan in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions,
which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525.
**IO hack**
The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions
semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that
increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now.
I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if
twisted enough) in the old approach:
- `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting
to manual state token threading and direct use of primops.
More details below.
- `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have
Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested
CPR yet.
- `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI
calls.
Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be
thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I
couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates
this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading
and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be
generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see
`T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld`
that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR).
**Precise exceptions**
In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception
semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in
!2956, but that was terribly unprincipled.
That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked
by these new test cases:
- `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too
syntactic about `raiseIO#`
- `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not
throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't
detect that)
Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had
the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix
`T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer
element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an
imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception.
See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details:

This MachOp was introduced by 2c959a1894311e59cd2fd469c1967491c1e488f3
but a wildcard match in cmmMachOpFoldM hid the fact that it wasn't
handled. Ideally we would eliminate the match but this appears to be a
larger task.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">simplCore: Ignore ticks in rule templates
This fixes #17619, where a tick snuck in to the template of a rule,
resulting in a panic during rule matching. The tick in question was
introduced via post-inlining, as discussed in `Note [Simplifying
rules]`. The solution we decided upon was to simply ignore ticks in the
rule template, as discussed in `Note [Tick annotations in RULE
matching]`.
Fixes #18162.
